Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Yacha Mengkong Temple, also known as Yachai Mengkhao Temple, was built by the founder of the Ayutthaya Dynasty. The temple was built in the 14th century to commemorate the killing of the Burmese prince in the war with Burma, so the name of the temple means a great victory. Like other ancient buildings, the outline of the temple can only be judged by the remaining foundation stones on the ground. The temple is famous for having a 28-meter-long reclining Buddha. This huge reclining Buddha lies comfortably in the sun, lying peacefully on his side surrounded by ruins, making people feel the peace and detachment of the Buddha at first sight. There are many Buddha statues around the beautiful pagoda. When you climb up the pagoda, there is a small Buddhist hall inside. There are four gilded Buddha statues in the four corners. When you look up, you can see many bats making their homes there.
